SIBAT organic farm

I joined the SIBAT staff for a 3 day project assessment and planning session at their organic demonstration farm about 2 hours drive north of Quezon City.

The farm is a new initiative by SIBAT to educate and train policy makers, business men, people's organization and farmers about sustainable agriculture (SA) . More information on the principles of SA and SIBATs projects can be found on the SIBAT website at www.sibat.org/ps_susag.htm.

It was a good trip to learn more about SIBATs work and get to know everyone here. I also had an opportunity to experience the back breaking work of rice planting at the farm.
